    Default Need hints for installing throttle body

    Did a valve clearance check. 1st in 14yrs and 30,000 miles. All was ok

    Now having great difficulty in refitting the throttle body into the 2 rubber inlet sleeves. They seem flexible enough.

    All hints will be gratefully received.


    Done it.
    Opened the 2 clamps to their max. Applied a little grease to lips of the throttle body mouths and used a fine screwdriver to guide the rear one in. They just popped in then.

    Some lubrication on the rubber? I have used a dab of liquid soap when mounting carbs on multi cylinder bikes. Dries and doesn't harm anything.
